Please note: The conference hotel
recently changed its name to Hilton (from DoubleTree).
However, it is still the same hotel at the same location.

Registration Procedure

Attendees are encouraged to make reservations early as these special
room rates are subject to room availability and are not valid for
reservations made after 5:00 p.m. MDT, September 15, 2000. (Once our
block of special rate rooms are filled, other rates may apply).

To make your hotel reservation, please phone the central reservations
office at: 800-HILTONS or the hotel directly at 801-328-2000; or
complete the hotel registration form and
send it to the hotel by mail or fax using the address given on the
form.

NOTE: Please sign up at the conference hotel. We understand
that you are all on a budget, but so are we. We need your
hotel room reservations in the Vis 2000 block at the
conference hotel, or else the conference has to pay extra for
the conference room rental. Because we have a heavy AV
requirement, we have to book a hotel that has large conference
rooms and high ceilings. There aren't many of those who will
book a small conference like ours. Please help us out by
supporting the conference hotel. We don't want to have to
raise our rates to cover hotel penalties.

Airport Shuttle

Shuttle service is available at $13.00 per person, round trip
to and from the Salt Lake International Airport at doors #5
and #10 every twenty minutes Monday - Friday from 6:00 am -
11:00 pm. Weekend shuttles run every 30 minutes 6:00 am -
11:00 pm. Special arrangements can be made for pickup outside
those hours by contacting the hotel directly at 801-328-2000.
